The Black Sheep Podcast

Jess and Jen, married and homesteading. Like most of the listeners we are black sheep in many different ways. Not ones to follow the collective mindset or herd mentality. We will be discussing anything we want from psychedelics, the LGBTQ agenda, the matrix, regenerative farming, homesteading, the plandemic, healing/spirituality, parenting and anything else we fucking feel like. We might even bring on some wicked people we know to discuss and debate. Triggered easily? Move the fuck on, this isn’t for you.

  • 74 - When the World Feels Unrecognizable: AI, 9/11, & Leading with the Heart

    The world is changing—fast. So how do we stay human in the middle of it?

    In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, Jen and Jess sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about some of the events and questions shaping the cultural moment: the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, the Allison Inquiry, reflections around the anniversary of 9/11, and the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death.

    But underneath all of these conversations is a bigger question:

    As technology becomes more powerful and the world becomes increasingly complex, what parts of our humanity do we need to protect?

    We explore the tension between incredible technological advancement and our deeply human need for connection, intuition, compassion, community and heart-led leadership. AI may be able to process more information than we ever could—but information and wisdom aren’t necessarily the same thing.

    Maybe the future isn’t about rejecting technology or surrendering ourselves to it.

    Maybe it’s about finding the balance.

    Using the tools available to us while remembering what makes us human. Staying curious. Questioning what we’re told. Remaining connected to one another. And continuing to lead from the heart—even in a world increasingly led by algorithms.


    What kind of future are we creating—and who do we want to be inside of it?

  • 73 - Building Health From the Ground Up with Lee Snider | Movement, Healing & Breaking Generational Patterns

    In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, I sit down with Lee Snider of MVNT 190, a biomechanics trainer based in Beachville, Ontario, for a conversation about what it really means to build health from the foundation up.


    We dive into functional movement, biomechanics, and the foundational pillars that support long-term health—not just treating symptoms, but looking at how we move, live, recover, and care for our bodies every day.


    Lee and I also get personal about our own health journeys, including the impact of generational trauma, the patterns we inherit, and what it looks like to consciously choose a different path forward.


    We talk about:


    • Functional movement and why the way we move matters

    • Building strong foundations for lifelong health

    • Taking responsibility for our health without striving for perfection

    • Generational trauma and breaking inherited patterns

    • The connection between physical, mental, and emotional well-being

    • What our own health and healing journeys have taught us along the way


    Health isn’t a destination. It’s an ongoing relationship with your body, your choices, your history, and the life you’re creating.

  • 72 - A Month of Miracles & Lessons on the Homestead

    Welcome back to The Black Sheep Podcast! 🌿


    This week we’re sharing a slower, more personal episode filled with the realities of life on the farm and the lessons that nature continues to teach us.


    In this episode we talk about:

    🐄 The incredible birth of Mary Lou’s very first calf and what we learned from being part of the experience.

    🌱 What August has been teaching us about slowing down, letting go of expectations, and working with the seasons instead of constantly trying to keep up.

    🍅 Honest reflections on homesteading, healing, and how sometimes the greatest growth comes when we’re forced to pause.

    🔮 An oracle reading for the month of August and the themes we’re collectively moving through.

    📦 Plus, we’re offering FREE SHIPPING on our oracle deck throughout the month of August as a thank-you for being part of our community.


    Whether you’re interested in regenerative living, nervous system healing, spirituality, or simply hearing authentic conversations about building a life that’s more connected to nature, we hope this episode leaves you feeling grounded and inspired.

  • 71 - The Hidden Cost of AI: What Data Centres Mean for Our Future

    Artificial intelligence is advancing at an incredible pace—but what does that progress actually cost?


    In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, we explore the rapid expansion of AI data centres through both a practical and personal lens. We discuss the growing demand for electricity and water, the potential impacts on local infrastructure, and the questions communities are beginning to ask as these projects move into municipalities across North America.


    From a local perspective, we examine why municipal engagement matters, how community members can become informed and involved in conversations that may affect their environment, and the importance of transparency as decisions are made.


    We also zoom out to explore a broader perspective: our relationship with nature, technology, and the importance of staying grounded in discernment rather than fear. As the world changes rapidly, how do we remain connected to the natural world, honour balance, and make thoughtful decisions that support both innovation and the health of our communities?


    This isn’t an episode about choosing sides—it’s about asking meaningful questions, staying curious, and encouraging open dialogue. Whether you’re excited by AI, concerned about its impacts, or simply wanting to understand the bigger picture, this conversation invites you to think critically while staying connected to what matters most.


    In this episode we discuss:


    The rapid growth of AI data centres

    Municipal planning and community involvement

    Electricity, water, and infrastructure demands

    Environmental and public health considerations

    Why local voices matter in development decisions

    Balancing technological innovation with stewardship of nature

    Spiritual perspectives on remaining grounded, connected, and discerning during times of rapid change

  • 70 - Can Men Explain This?

    Can men explain… such and such? 👀😂


    After roasting women last episode, it was only fair that the guys got their turn.


    So we asked the important questions…


    Why do projects sit at 97% complete for six months? 🤔


    Why is there always that one pair of underwear that should’ve been retired years ago? 🩲


    Why does “I’ll do it later” have no actual timeline attached to it? 😂


    Somehow we started there… and ended up talking about communication, marriage, expectations, how couples accidentally drive each other crazy, and what actually helps relationships work when you stop trying to “win.”


    This episode went completely off the rails in the best possible way—with plenty of laughs, side quests, and a few surprisingly meaningful conversations mixed in.
